16		-The summary is taken from the manifest by copy / paste. The following text is just for demonstrating purpose!
	28	+Airlocks are arguably the most critical component of a Mars habitat: They allow the crew to enter and leave their habitat and venture into the Martian environment. Practically all simulation habitats in operational environments therefore feature a room that serves as a simulated airlock. However, most spaceflight simulation bases have only simulated airlocks. In these, the airlock is under ambient pressure and “locking” is simulated simply by having the crew wait for a specified amount of time. Decontamination of suits that would be needed on Mars both during inbound and outbound passage crew is ignored more often than not. Hence, most information available on simulation EVAs is thwarted by the unrealistic setup of and operations inside the airlock. Given the set-up of the D-MARS station, with the slight over-pressurization of the habitat and inherently necessary dust mitigation, the station’s airlock is deemed to be more realistic than average; therefore, this study will investigate if the airlock or its sub-components can serve as a prototype of an airlock for Mars. During A-20, information on the usability of anexisting, (somewhat) realistic airlock, and lessons for the design of future airlocks for extraterrestrial (and simulated) environments shall be obtained. Crew feedback will be collected via questionnaires to be answered by the crew after each EVA and post-mission. Airlock usage and adherence to airlock protocols will be monitored by cameras in-and outside the airlock. The experiment will also evaluate the effectiveness of simple dustmitigation activities and aim to understand how routine affects the adherence to dust mitigation protocols. Effectiveness of dust mitigation will be quantified by mass measurements of imported dust/sand (after routine sweeping).

18		-Astronauts are at all times required to provide outstanding performance. They are to remain resilient and to maintain their psychological well-being in order to successfully accomplish their mission in extreme and isolated environments. Future Martian explorers therefore have to be selected and trained to be able to deal with such environments and to be able to maintain an adaptive and resilient mind-set, communicate with others efficiently and pro-actively, process and accept worries and sadness, and to stay persistent with respect to the goals of the mission.

20		-In the course of the experiment, all six analog astronauts will be trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In a wide range of studies, ACT has proven to increase people’s psychological flexibility; this is, their ability to pursue their important goals, even when they experience thoughts, feelings, fears, and emotions that may get in the way of their moving towards those goals. The ACT training will focus on providing key, practical skills that the participants can use in carrying out their daily activities, as well as in interacting with their colleagues. This study aims to assesses the ability of ACT to improve participants’ psychological flexibility, stress and well-being, performance and error measures, narrative contents and communication patterns, cognitive and physiological outcomes.

22		-The study will use a pre - post-test design. The pre-test will be completed by the participants before the ACT training, a post-test after completing the training. Further, a follow-up measure will be taken from participants at the end of their mission. Additional qualitative data will be collected from the analog astronauts in form of a diary.
